A few thoughts:
Breastfeeding in public becomes a little trickier on a full airplane. Have you seen how small those seats are? When in doubt repeat the mottos - "Modesty Shmodesty" and "A mothers gotta do what a mothers gotta do".
Flaunt your happy baby upon boarding the aircraft. It doesn't matter if he is smiling or sleeping. That way everyone can see how cute he is so that when he is screaming bloody murder they will remember that he is not a brat. Also it wouldn't hurt to jokingly apologize during this introduction. Then your bases are covered at the end of the flight. Either you can say, "I warned you" or you can listen to the praises of how well behaved your baby is. If a happy boarding baby cannot be guaranteed you can start this process in the waiting area although this will not be as effective because these people may not be sitting in close proximity to your assigned seat.
In summary, I do not recommend attempting partner-less travel. Always travel with a ratio of at least two adults to one child.
